Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0.4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The magnetic field inside a current-carrying solenoid in vacuum is given by \(B_0 = \mu_0 n I\). When the space is filled with a medium of magnetic susceptibility \(\chi_m\), the magnetic field becomes \(B = \mu_r B_0\), where \(\mu_r\) is the relative permeability of the…
